The Tyrone Girls and Boys Swim Team had a very successful night of swimming on Thursday January 22 2015 with a double win against Cambria Heights.

The boys picked up their first win of the season, 72-63.  Leading the Eagles was Austin Quinn in the 50 freestyle (28:32) and the 100 freestyle (1:04:03) and Ben McConnell (BG), who also had a double win for Tyrone in the 200 IM (2:34:92) and the 100 breaststroke (1:13:74).  The boys also won both the 200 freestyle relay and 400 freestyle relay, which helped to seal the win.

“Even though we were down two swimmers, the boys really stepped up and had some great swims,” said Tyrone head coach Tom Getz, “the 200 free relay team of Chase Maceno, Ryan Evanko, Austin Quinn and Matt Beam had a huge swim which really helped put us in a position to win. We were able to pick up enough firsts but more importantly the seconds and thirds put us over the top.”

Blake Slobodnik (BG) won the 500 freestyle with a time of 6:08:42

On the girls side, the Tyrone girls won big, 100-68 with double wins from Mikayla Harris in the 200 freestyle and the 100 backstroke and also Emily Beam in the 200 IM (2:49:77) and the 100 butterfly (1:16:20).

Samantha Aungst won the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:23:91. The Eagles also took all three relays, the 200 medley relay, 200 Freestyle and the 400 Freestyle relay

“A big thing for the girls was being able to win all three relays and as a team,” said Getz, “we had some swimmers finally step up and win the second, third and fourth places, which are critical points. Abby Luensmann from Bellwood had a great meet along with Allison Hosko, both who had some personal bests in their events. We also got some great swims by Kayla Bilger and Angie Wilkins which helped with some good points.”
